Notes
'Summer Pastels' yarrow (Achillea 'Summer Pastels') is a perennial for borders and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy soil. Its flowers draw butterflies and birds. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It also tolerates drought, so it suits dry spots in the garden.
Pairs well with Immortality iris, Solar Power sunflower, and Little Beauty tulip.
